Why an experience in Blacksburg?

Blacksburg is in the New River Valley, close to the Jefferson National Forest and the New River, one of the oldest rivers in North America. It is a great place for anyone who likes being outdoors.

Most students know the campus and downtown well but rarely make time for the rafting, trails and countryside around them. Our experiences make it easy to say yes to a day out, or simply to relax after exams.

An experience gives them a break, a reason to get out with friends and a memory from their time in Blacksburg. Care packages are lovely, but snacks are gone in a week.
